Dr. Abdul Wahhab, a general surgeon based in Saint Clair, will be sharing his office with his daughter.

"It will only be once a month," said Dr. Samina Wahhab, a plastic surgeon.

While she has an established practice in Allentown, Samina said she's planning to have office hours at her father's office at 278 Industrial Park Road, Saint Clair. It will be a way for her to check in on patients who live in the area.

"It will always be on a Friday morning, but the actual Friday will be different from month to month. The next day will be Friday, Nov. 19, from 9 a.m. to noon," she said.

Samina grew up in Pottsville and graduated from Pottsville Area High School in 1986. She earned her associate degree from Simon's Rock College, Great Barrington, Mass., in 1986, a bachelor of science degree in biology from The American University in Washington, D.C., in 1988, her medical doctorate from Hahnemann University, Philadelphia, in 1995, and did her general surgery and plastic surgery residencies at Lehigh Valley Hospital, Allentown.

She started her own practice in Allentown in 2001.

She is the only board certified female plastic surgeon in the Lehigh Valley, according to her website at www.drwahhab.com. State-of-the-art procedures she performs include SLIM liposuction and fractional skin resurfacing.

Meanwhile, Samina said her father isn't retiring, despite the fact that he turned 71 on July 5.
